Hello, I just added a clown trigger to my 75 gallon tank. The trigger is very small now. 1.5 inches. I have been told that he eat snails and hermits but so far (one week) I have not noticed missing cleaners. My question is: is there any kind of coral (soft or hard) I can keep in the tank...

I am currently shopping for a new oak aquarium stand for my 75 gallon tank. Unfortunately it seems to me that there are only few models around (or at least they all look the same to me). Can someone suggest some good one ? some website ? what you guys have for your tank. thanks,

I heard about Calcium Gluconate. Is there anybody ever used it to rise calcium concentration ? it should be pretty safe because calcium is chelated with a sugar. Any idea ? Thanks

Hello, I would like to increase calcium concentration in my fishtank. Reading around it looks like there is a very complicated chemistry behind. To me it seems that the use of the calcium chloride method is the easiest but I am worried to increase also the chlorine concentration in the tank...

do NOT put directly the cube in the tank. Just put it in a small bucket filled with water (tap water is OK). wait couple of minutes until it dissolves and use a small fishing net to collect the brines and feed you fishes. Wait that all the brines have been eaten before adding more.

I just noticed tonight that my white butterflyfish losted more than half of its dorsal filament. I suspect my liofish has something to do with it. My question is. Will it grow back again ? Thanks

Quick question: Do ghost shrimps breed in a saltwater tank ? I need them for my lionfish and I am wondering if I could rise some of those in the separate refugium tank or they will die anyway after couple of hours. Do I need a separate freshwater tank for them ? thanks

The only new addition in the past 3 weeks is a feather duster. I recall that at night the domino used to rub the feather. I though was kind of cool. do you think I got infected with something ?

My domino is not black anymore; he seemed have lost his original black color and now looks almost all white. He behave and eat normally. What could have happened ? I have him since a year, I have him since he was less than 1 inches long. I am very attached to him and I cannot accept he will...

go for it. I have mine since a year now. Awesome personality, eat everything. As food requiremetn he eat everything. I may suggest to put some sushi paper in the tank (the algae paper used for sushi). he love it.

I am just inesperienced I guess. I have a 75 gallon SW fish only with 80 pound of LR. A week after I added the picasso in the tank I noticed a massive algae bloom. At the first I though about some sort of contamination. this freak me out. As all of you guys I take this hobby extremely serious...

thanks for the feedback. This is the situation, I have the pump submerged (Quiet one 4000) in the wet/dry unit. The pump vibrate quite a bit. Is this pump too powerful for my 75 gallon tank ? it is rated 1017 GPH. I had to install a valve to reduce the outflow. Should I buy the 1200 or the 800...

I have a 75 gallon sw tank connected with an external wet/dry filtration system. The aquarium is in my bedroom. The return pump is very noisy (even if is a Quiet One 4000...) and this make me unable to sleep at night. So the question is: can I shut down the pump off at night ? is there any...

I work in a molecular biology lab and I have access to all sort of chemicals and reagents. In the lab we use RO water as source of deionized water (Millipore system, 10,000$ machine) and I am wondering if there is any way I can use this water in my saltwater tank. The Millipore unit is...

I just started a new 75 gallon salt water project. I am looking around for cheap lighting or DIY systems but it seems you need to be millionaire to get something good ... I was thinking to buy a 48" Orbit 4x65W SunPaq w/Lunar Lights...
